Ivan Toney is still available on the transfer market as Tottenham Hotspur fans wonder if their club will sign the striker.
Tottenham need more attacking quality ahead of the new Premier League season, especially with the team returning to Europe.
Ange Postecoglou witnessed first-hand how his side collapsed after ten games when James Maddison and Micky van de Ven were sidelined.
So, it’s paramount that Tottenham, at a minimum, bulk up their squad because Postecoglou will need to dig deep.
The London club haven’t really replaced Harry Kane following his exit last summer, with Son Heung-min and Richarlison leading the line last season.
Sources have told HITC Tottenham’s transfer stance on Toney, with the player keen to leave and with only 12 months remaining on his contract.
But that number nine isn’t the only player Spurs need because they also need to bulk up their attacking wide areas.
Darren Ambrose is excited by the prospect of the players coming in when he was discussing how Toney is needed at Hotspur Way.
The name of Italy international Federico Chiesa was mentioned, with sources telling HITC that Spurs have held talks with Chiesa.
Another name that Ambrose dropped was Wolves winger Pedro Neto, who has endured several injury problems at Wolves – Sources have told HITC what Wolves are set to demand for Neto with Tottenham keen.
And the former midfielder also added that Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze would be a ‘sensational signing’, as he told talkSPORT (27/07/24 at 3:15 pm).
Tottenham backed to sign Federico Chiesa, Pedro Neto and Eberechi Eze
“With Ange Postecoglou and the way he plays, maybe a couple of others (alongside Toney),” said Ambrose.
“There is the rumour mill left, right and centre. Eberechi Eze potentially, Pedro Neto and Chiesa. With Spurs, you have to get the best out of Son and he needs to play out on the left. You can’t use him as a number nine.
The former midfielder then added later on: “Any player associated with Crystal Palace, I want to stay at Palace, unless it’s going to Tottenham. He (Eze) would be a sensational signing. And Ivan Toney, we have spoken about him.”
Tottenham need to bring in proven quality
All of the above players are proven, with three of them being top performers in the Premier League, so this is something Spurs should push for.
Postecoglou’s style of play is all action, on the front foot, 100 miles per hour, direct and fearless.

Players like Neto would fit right in, the only issue is his injury record. Toney is looking for that jump up and Spurs could be the place for him.
James Maddison needs someone to dance with and Eze would provide that, whilst Chiesa has the experience of playing for a giant like Juventus and he would fit in at Hotspur Way.
